Photographer's description:
Tree was uprooted but portion nearest apartment building was strong enough so
tree cantilevered onto building. The City of Cincinnati condemned the building
and engineers estimated the tree weight at 40,000 pounds.

The remnants of Hurricane Ike merged with a frontal boundary and
swept through the Ohio Valley on Sunday, September 14. An intense
pressure gradient to the south of this system resulted in widespread
winds gusts of 50 to 75 mph across much of Indiana, Ohio and northern
Kentucky. These winds persisted for several hours which caused
very widespread damage with downed trees and power lines, damage to
structures, and numerous structure fires. The wind storm left over
1 million people without power across Wilmington's forecast area and
resulted in 6 fatalities in the area.

Safety Note:Trees and large limbs falling on homes have led to
numerous injuries and fatalities in the past. When a severe thunderstorm
warning is issued, it is a good idea to keep in mind where large trees
are in relation to your house, and stay away from windows which can
easily be broken by falling limbs.
